Waimanalo Beach Cottages

This is such a great experience for two families and a total of nine people! We loved that it was out of the way of the busyness of Waikiki. The wind was crazy, but once we got out to the beach, it was actually very nice. The views are tremendous. The apartments 10 and 11 had what we needed. It's not luxurious, but it's great for a beach cottage. Carolyn was very responsive whenever we texted her about things we might need. Everything worked in the kitchen. We would definitely definitely come back!!! what a great surprise!

Excellent location, if you want to avoid the crowds. Quiet residential neighborhood on the east side of the island, right next to a beautiful, uncrowded beach. A rare example of a vacation rental with a full kitchen, one of the few allowed despite Oahu's strict limits on vacation rentals. The only reason rated 4 (not 5) stars is that the cottage was a bit dated, but no major problems with it. I had to search long and hard to find something like this on Oahu, and my search was well-rewarded.

Small cottage set back from beach. With everything you need in your trip to the beach. Close/short walk to the beach. Beautiful water, great views. It’s not 5 start, by any means, the cottage had small issues, like the shower dripped, the door and appliances have ocean rust and the base boards could use paint. But nothing preventing you from having a terrific stay. It has appliances, dishes, pots and pans. It was very clean, nice bedding and provides beach towels and a chair for the beach.( if available.) Which I did get the use of one. This beach is one of my personal favorites on the island. Not crowded. Then right up the street is several very good restaurants within walking distance & a seven eleven convenience store. Highly recommend.

It’s truly Heaven on Earth! We had the most amazing time staying here, you are right by the beach and the view off the balcony of cottage are spectacular The cottages was nice and clean, with renovations being done. Kalapawai has delicious food and is just a short walk right down the street and Ono. Steak is also a walk down the street and the food is delicious .It was wonderful being so close to great food and a great beach that has mostly locals!

Loved our stay here! It was a 60 second walk to the beach and they provided beach chairs, floaties and boards free of charge. The beach had a beautiful view of sunrise and was not nearly has highly populated as some of the other beaches around! The cottage was clean and very easy access for the free road parking. The owner was a very nice man and always available for questions!

Had the most amazing time staying here, you are right by the beach with one house between you and the sand and the most amazing view off the balcony of cottage 11. Beautiful rooms at the cottages and amazing renovations being done. I can’t wait to go back and experience the peace and vibes that come with the stay here! Kalapawai has delicious food and is just a short walk right down the street. It was wonderful being so close to great food and a great beach that has mostly locals!

Beach is a 5 second walk away. There is a security code to access the Cottages. We only used street parking but there was plenty. We loved the 3 cats on the property and loved on them every chance we got! We didn't mind that the Cottages were dated as it had everything that we needed. There is great food right up the street with Lanikai and Kailua 20 minutes away.

So on this trip we stayed only in Oahu, we didn’t island hop. We wanted to really enjoy where we stayed. The first part of the trip we stayed in Waikiki and then moved to the cottages. I honestly wish I would have stayed at the cottages the whole time. This place feels like your own personal retreat. I felt completely safe sleeping with the sliding door and windows open. Every night I closed my eyes and knocked out to sounds of the waves 🌊. They give you full access to all their beach chairs, floating devices, beach towels, and anything else you could need for the beach. You have a 1 minute walk to a gorgeous beach that only locals really go to. We floated in the ocean for hours and never had to worry about our stuff. The ocean was crystal clear right in front of the cottages! You couldn’t have asked for more. There are awesome restaurants and food trucks 2 blocks from where we stayed!

We were there for four days and stayed in a two bedroom, very nice! clean and comfortable. It was so calm and peaceful with the beach steps away. If we we not down at the beach we were doing a bbq in the couryard. We will definitely be coming back!
